06 / 02 / 2018

Dieter Vermeiren had a good weekend in Sentower Park. Each horse he started, was placed. With Piepke 111 Z, an eight-year-old Plot Blue x Lord Z, he became second the 1.35m - 1.40m class against the cloch. In the 1.40m class the Brazilian Cassio Rivetti won with Quinty du Buisson Z (Quartz II Adelheid Z x Oberon du Moulin). Bertrand Genin was two times in the top three with the 13-year-old Cleo Van De Windeweg Z (Chin Chin x Le Tot de Semilly). After a previous second place, they added a third place to their palmares. Dirk Demeersman finished seventh with Clash II Heldenlaan Z (Clinton I x Lord Z).

In the classes for five- and six-year-old horses, the Swedish Sofia Westborg was both first and third with Concordia Z, a Chiquitano Z x Zandor Z mare, bred by Wim Aegten. Melanie Gelin finished first and fourth with the five-year old Attoucha Hero Z (Et), a mare by Aganix du Seigneur Z x Diamant de Semilly. Jens Vandenberk took a second and third place with Cocochanel du Toultia Z (HH Copin of the Broy x Diarado).

Bjorn Vandenbossche finished second with Nabiba Z (Nabab de Reve x Heartbreaker). With Ascaina Z, the auction topper of the Z Online Auction last December, he finished ninth and tenth. Ascaina Z is a breeding product of Studfarm Zangersheide. She is a daughter of Asca Z out of the famous Cocaine Z (Caretano Z). Mother Cocaine Z already produced three Z approved stallions, including Crowntano Z (Crown Z), Candico Z (Candillo Z) and Corico Z (Coriano Z). Also the 1.60m jumping Tabou Z (Treasure Z) is a son of Cocaine Z, just like the seven-year-old Zaza Z (Zandor Z). Ascaina Z was sold for € 60,000.

At the seven-year-olds, BCO Milton Z and Pim Mulder were victorious. BCO Milton Z is a Zangersheide approved stallion by Mylord Cartago x Sandro Boy out of the breeding of Freek Hoogenboom from Lemelerveld. Two days earlier, there was a fourth place for Henry de Wulf with Zumatra Adelheid Z (Zucchero Adelheid Z x Rival Z) and a fifth place for Marcel Willems with Apollo Z (Aganix du Seigneur x Topas). Willems and Apollo Z became eighth last year during the world championship for six-year-olds in Lanaken.
